hi

When installing XVC drivers according to the manual of PG156, make install error, as follows:

make -C /lib/modules/4.15.0-47-generic/build M=/home/alveo-u200/soft/u200/xvc_pcie/driver_v0.4 modules

I am completely installed in the manual, why is this?

I'm getting the same error.  What OS and version are you using?  I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm wondering if you're using the same.

I am using ubuntu 16.4 ，Installation has been wrong。Is it not supported by the ubuntu?

Hi @xilinx675942236  & @luisb,

You are missing a dependancy in your Ubuntu installations, please try:

sudo apt-get install libelf1    -or-

sudo apt-get install elfutils

After applying this to my Ubuntu build, I was able to successfully make clean all, sudo make install, and sudo modprobe the driver, and see it attach.
